In this paper we focus on traffic prediction as a means to achieve dynamic bandwidth allocation in a generic Internet link. Our findings show that coarse prediction (bytes per interval) proves advantageous to perform dynamic ...

In this paper, we show that prediction algorithms in the least
mean square error sense prove better in a burst rather than in a packet
switching network. For the latter, further information about the packet
arrival ...

The use of IP traffic prediction techniques for
DAMA TDMA protocols is investigated in this paper. The predicted
traffic distribution is derived when the input traffic shows
long-range dependence features. Furthermore, an ...

The blocking time distribution for an OBS router
is obtained, under the assumption of Poisson-arriving bursts
with Pareto, Gaussian and Exponential burst size distributions.
Analytical expressions are provided as a ...

In this paper, a Multiresolution Analysis is conducted in order
to study the self-similar features of Optical Burst Switching (OBS) traffi c. The scenario consists of an OBS backbone with input traffic from
a large number ...

This paper presents capacity planning rules for the control plane of all-optical networks featuring GMPLS and RSVP-TE as
a connection setup protocol. As per RSVP standard, a refresh message mechanism is incorporated to ...

In this paper we present the first set of active measurements that we have made using the
ETOMIC system. ETOMIC is a paneuropean traffic measurement infrastructure with GPS-synchronized
monitoring nodes. Specific hardware ...

The OBS burstifier delay-throughput curves are analyzed in
this paper. The burstifier incorporates a timer-based scheme with minimum
burst size, i. e., bursts are subject to padding in light-load scenarios.
Precisely, due ...

The European Traffic Observatory is a European Union
VI Framework Program sponsored effort, within the Integrated
Project EVERGROW, that aims at providing a paneuropean
traffic measurement infrastructure with highprecisi ...

This paper deals with estimation of blocking probabilities
for OBS switches with Fiber Delay Lines (FDLs) and full wavelength
conversion. An incoming burst that finds the wavelengths occupied is
temporarily stored in a ...
